To Breed or Not to Breed, That Is The Question.

In a time of global anxiety and political unrest, a young couple contemplate having a child. If they overthink it, they'll never do it. But if they rush, it could be a disaster.

"I could fly to New York and back every day for seven years and still not leave a carbon footprint as big as if I have a child. Ten thousand tonnes of CO2. That's the weight of the Eiffel Tower. I'd be giving birth to the Eiffel Tower."

This hilarious and touching examination of one couple’s decision by up and coming British playwright Duncan Macmillan begs the question, what will be the first to destruct, the planet or the relationship?

First presented at The Studio Theatre, Washington D.C USA on 28 September, 2011 in a rolling World Première with Paines Plough/Sheffield Crucible.
